A

Indications

24
Q

any discomforts, diseases or conditions which could worsen as a result of a massage- where a massage is not recommended at all.

A

Absolute contraindication

25
Q

where massage is recommended as long as the choice of techniques is adapted accordingly

A

conditional contraindication

26
Q

smallest living unit of an organism, capable of breathing, feeding itself, responding to environmental changes regenerating itself, and reproducing itself.

A

The cell

27
Q

cellular organelle that houses the genetic material

A

nucleus

28
Q

chemical energy produced in a cell

A

ATP (Adenosine TriPhosphate)

29
Q

Responsible for producing ATP necessary for maintaining the activity of the cell

A

Mitochondria

30
Q

70% of tissue in the body

A

Connective tissue

31
Q

Covers body sufaces, lines body cavities, hollow organs and ducts. It also forms glands. Is avascular and innervated.

A

Epithelial tissue (structure)

32
Q

Protects body surface and hollow organs, senses (hot, cold, touch, pressure, pain), excretes some metabolic waste, absorbes nutients in the gut, filters the blood through the kidneys.

A

Epithelial tissue (functions)

33
Q

Most widespread in the human body. Connects, supports and strengthens other tissues, protects internal organs and stores energy reserves as fat reserves. Diverse appearance (bone, cartilage, tendon, fascia, blood, adipose tissue)

A

Connective tissue (structure)

34
Q

Binds, supports and strengthens other tissues and organs. Protects and insulates the structures forming the skeletal muscles. constitues the major transport system within the body. Major site of stored energy reserves.

A

Connective tissue (function)

35
Q

Set of connective tissues surrounding the organs and structure of the body. Also located in muscles, nerves, on the surface or deeper. Adhesions can cause compression of nerves, muscles and blood vessels and limit range of motion.

A

Fascia

36
Q

Which connective tissues are avascularized?

A

cartilage

37
Q

Which connective tissues are semi-vascular?

A

tendons and ligaments

38
Q

Which connective tissue is not innervated?

A

cartilage

39
Q

which connective tissue is very richly innervated?

A

tendons and ligaments
